    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Incontinentia pigmenti (IP), or Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome, is a rare genodermatosis.
    • IP primarily affects female infants, presenting with characteristic skin and potential systemic manifestations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To comprehensively review the world literature on Incontinentia pigmenti.
    • To determine the frequency and nature of skin and systemic manifestations in IP patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A systematic literature review was conducted.
    • Analysis of 653 valid patient reports from 464 references.

    Main Results:

    • Skin manifestations were observed to be more frequent than previously documented.
    • Systemic manifestations were present in a high percentage of patients, affecting 79.8%.

    Conclusions:

    • Incontinentia pigmenti frequently presents with both skin and systemic involvement.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the full spectrum and management of IP.
